00:00In this mansion, you can call me a ma'am, a servant, you can call me anything.
00:06I did it with the friendship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
00:10So I have broken the, you know, the tight cast.
00:30I have loved you all, my dear brothers, sisters, my friends, the media people, for 21 years.
00:39It's been 21 years since I've been in this industry.
00:42So, with all my heart, I would like to invite you all to our set, Durga,
00:46through Magic Moments Production, which is coming on Colors TV on 16th September,
00:53at 7.40 pm.
00:56For that, I would like to invite you all to our lovely set.
01:03And I would like to say that, Ganpati Pappa,
01:06it's a very good day to bless our show,
01:10because today is the 7th day,
01:14and even though Ganpati Pappa is leaving today, he is leaving with blessings.
01:20And I am very happy that I am meeting you all here on my set.
01:25Now, you can ask whatever you want.
01:28First of all, you can see that I am playing the role of Pani Bai,
01:34who is a Rajasthani woman.
01:37And of this house, of this mansion,
01:40you can call me a mistress, you can call me a servant, you can call me anything.
01:45Like, we know that in today's world, we don't call a servant a servant.
01:50Actually, if you see, the people who work for us, they become the master.
01:56And Pani Bai is also a woman like that,
01:59who had brought water to this mansion for many years,
02:03and now, she has taken control of this mansion.
02:10In this mansion, we have three sons,
02:14one is Savitri Bai,
02:17and the husband of Savitri Bai has passed away.
02:23So, the story starts from there.
02:26Why does Pani Bai live in this house?
02:28That is a back story, which I will not be able to tell you.
02:31And that is the clue, that is the code of our show.
02:36And Pani Bai has brought our Durga,
02:39who has also brought her to this mansion from a young age.
02:45Now, why has she brought her? For what reason has she brought her?
02:49That is also an undercover rap, which you will get to know in the show.
02:54But, Pani Bai is a very important catalyst,
02:58an antagonist, you can say that,
03:02the powerful character in this show,
03:05that is the character of Pani Bai.
03:07And we have,
03:09especially my friends here,
03:13my old friends, the media people here,
03:16they know that whatever Indira Krishna does,
03:19there is a little entertainment factor in it.
03:22And I will not say that,
03:25my efforts are 200%, but along with that,
03:29this character is a very important character for me.
03:32As you know, in every character,
03:35whether it is Krishna Ben Khakrawala,
03:37or the one I did for Colors, Krishna Dasi,
03:40I have done a different role.
03:42From where you talk about the look, or you talk about the speech,
03:47or you talk about the walk,
03:49or how you play that character,
03:53which connects the audience.
03:55I do exactly the same characters,
03:57even in real life, on television.
04:00So, Pani Bai is also a very real,
04:04live character that I have brought.
04:07Why real? Because you can see that,
04:10my look,
04:12the clothes that I wear,
04:14I wear these clothes so easily,
04:17so that this is a normal,
04:19for that character,
04:21Pani Bai can come in a normal form.
04:24The second thing is,
04:26that jewellery,
04:28the tribal, rural people,
04:30the Rajasthani people wear,
04:32along with that,
04:34I have introduced a new thing,
04:36my tattoos.
04:38As you can see, I have put them on my neck as well.
04:40I think on television,
04:42everyone uses markers,
04:44I have not used markers at all.
04:46I have used proper tattoos,
04:48the high-resolution tattoos,
04:52which last for 13-14 hours,
04:54until I reach home,
04:56and I scratch myself,
04:58and the tattoos come off.
05:00There is a lot of hard work,
05:02in this character,
05:04because wearing all this,
05:06you perform a powerful role,
05:08you perform entertainment,
05:10and along with that,
05:12speaking the Rajasthani,
05:14Rabari language,
05:16I have given a tone,
05:18in the language,
05:20a lot of,
05:22I mean,
05:24the rest of the artists,
05:26have not kept Rajasthani,
05:28except for Pani Bai.
05:30So I have given a tone,
05:32so that people can understand,
05:34what I am saying.
05:36Along with the tone,
05:38you will hear a lot of my clarity,
05:40in Rajasthani,
05:42and the character's base,
05:44I have given that as well.
05:46So you will enjoy this character a lot.
05:48Because I have done something new,
05:50on television,
05:52and along with the language,
05:54I have held this character.
05:56So all the episodes,
05:58you will see,
06:00the first episode,
06:02which we are going to introduce,
06:04has a back history,
06:06that why has Durga come to this house,
06:08and what is the relation
06:10between Durga and Pani Bai,
06:12and what is the relation
06:14between us and this house,
06:16that you will be able to understand.
06:18Ma'am, the biggest thing is,
06:20it is such a big house,
06:22you have taken over here,
06:24but you don't want to sit on good things,
06:26you just want to sit on the floor.
06:28So the reason,
06:30as you know,
06:32all the people of Rajasthan,
06:34the rural, tribal people,
06:36they never sit on the chair.
06:38And I have maintained that authenticity.
06:40When we were discussing
06:42about this character,
06:44they asked,
06:46Indira, what else
06:48will you be able to do in this character?
06:50So we, the creatives,
06:52thought that Pani Bai,
06:54has taken over this house,
06:56but she won't leave her roots,
06:58won't leave her tradition.
07:00So it is her tradition,
07:02you know, to sit on the floor,
07:04she sits on the floor and eats food,
07:06sometimes she sits on the floor,
07:08when she talks to someone,
07:10she sits on the floor.
07:12Usually everyone sits on the sofa,
07:14but she sits on the floor
07:16and talks.
07:18Because she is a tribal woman,
07:20and her upbringing,
07:22her culture,
07:24her tradition is from there.
07:26So we took this route,
07:28we talk about traditional look,
07:30but you should also follow
07:32the tradition.
07:34So that is what I showed
07:36in this show.
07:38I think first time,
07:40you must have seen shows like
07:42Amma ji's characters,
07:44but they all used to sit on the sofa.
07:46I have done it differently,
07:48I mean,
07:50I will sit on the floor and say my dialogues,
07:52from the floor,
07:54as much as you
07:56audience
07:58can connect,
08:00I have kept this character accordingly.
08:02Well,
08:04we would like to know,
08:06shows are very good start-ups,
08:08and have good storylines,
08:10but at the end,
08:12when the series ends,
08:14or the show ends,
08:16there is an essence of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
08:18Correct.
08:20Now the audience is bored,
08:22so do you think there is a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law here?
08:24So there is no mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in our show.
08:26First,
08:28there is no mother-in-law and daughter-in-law here.
08:30Here,
08:32I am the mother-in-law and I am the daughter-in-law.
08:34So whatever has to be done, Panibai will do.
08:36Here, there is Durga,
08:38and there is a relation with Durga,
08:40that of Panibai,
08:42she is afraid of Panibai,
08:44somewhere or the other.
08:46So we have
08:48made a very strong relation,
08:50that as soon as Panibai
08:52enters,
08:54she will open her mouth and
08:56something bad is going to happen.
08:58This is a very different show.
09:00And as you know,
09:02the writer of this show,
09:04she writes very different shows.
09:06The character
09:08of Panibai,
09:10when I went for the first time,
09:12and I have not met her,
09:14but the first time when I was
09:16asked for this show,
09:18that you come and
09:20we want to give a one-line brief of this character,
09:22I was very
09:24kicked by this character,
09:26because I felt that she is different,
09:28there is no mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
09:30If you watch my shows,
09:32I have never done the typical shows
09:34of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
09:36I had given a hit show,
09:38Savi Ki Savari, on Colors TV,
09:40which ran for more than a year.
09:42And in that too,
09:44I have never done a bestie,
09:46a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law,
09:48I did it with a friendship.
09:50So I have broken the,
09:52you know,
09:54the typecast,
09:56I have never done those roles.
09:58And this is also not a typecast role at all.
10:00Neither look-wise,
10:02nor, you know,
10:04the way I speak,
10:06it is completely different.
10:08What will be the USP of this show?
10:10Paani Bai.
10:12I feel
10:14USP is Paani Bai.
10:16And I feel Durga is also
10:18a USP of this show.
10:20I also feel it is the boy of this show,
10:22who is doing a very
10:24tremendous job.
10:26The character that is there,
10:28Durga looks like Durga,
10:30and Ashay Mishra,
10:32who is playing the role of Anurag,
10:34he looks like Anurag.
10:36The typical,
10:38the heir of a family,
10:40he looks like that.
10:42You know, that family,
10:44belongs to the Rajasthan family.
10:46So he looks like Rajput in that.
10:48So the casting that they have done,
10:50after seeing all that,
10:52a freshness has also come.
10:54And Pranali has already
10:56a fan following,
10:58because she has done this relation.
11:00But in this, I think she will get
11:02even a bigger fan following,
11:04because her character is very different
11:06in this show.
11:08Thank you so much for an opportunity.
11:10Thank you very much. Thank you, dear.
